Pedro Santiago-Reyes v. Eric H. Holder Jr.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Pedro Santiago-Reyes v. Eric H. Holder Jr., 397 F. App'x 344 (9th Cir. 2010)

Pedro Santiago-Reyes v. Eric H. Holder Jr.

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Edwin F. Lara, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s continuous physical presence determination, Canales-Vargas v. Gonzales, 441 F.3d 739, 742 (9th Cir. 2006), and we deny the petition for review.

The record does not compel the conclusion that Lara met his burden of establishing continuous physical presence where he failed to provide sufficient evidence supporting his presence from March 1995 to March 2005. See Singh-Kaur v. INS, 183 F.3d 1147, 1150 (9th Cir. 1999) (a contrary result is not compelled where there is “[t]he possibility of drawing' two inconsistent conclusions from the evidence”) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
